Snejana Onopka (born December 15, 1986) is a Ukrainian supermodel known for her deep-set eyes and pin-thin body. Onopka moved to the Ukraine capital, Kiev, at the age of fifteen. While there, she was spotted by a foreign scout and thus began her career as a model. She has since been on the covers of numerous magazines, including i-D, Numéro, and Italian Vogue (twice). Onopka also has shot advertisements for Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Lanvin, Prada, Yves Saint-Laurent, and Louis Vuitton.

During the New York's Fall/Winter 2007 shows she was noticeably absent. Many rumors arose from her body to her "diva behaviour" to simply taking time off to relax back home.^{[citation needed]} At the start of the Milan shows just weeks later, she was back in full force walking for shows including Burberry, Jil Sander, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana.

She works with modeling agencies DNA Model Management (New York), Viva (Paris), and Why Not (Milan).

[edit] Personal

Snejana has a residence in Ukraine but cites New York as her part-time home because "most of the important jobs are there."^{[citation needed]} She wants to study languages after her modeling career.^{[citation needed]}
